Long Term Care Facilities

Medicaid patients are eligible to receive services in Long Term Care facilities based on patient assessments and plans of care. In addition to medical criteria, patients must meet financial and other requirements as specified by law. Long Term Care facilities include nursing homes, swing beds in hospitals and certain facilities for the intellectually disabled.

OBRA Pre-Admission Screening - Medicaid contracts with the Alabama Department of Mental Health to review the application of each person seeking placement in a long term care facility to ensure the patient's placement is appropriate for that person.
